This large Prickly Pear (spineless) has the most beautiful color of blooms...I would describe it as MAGENTA. It is over at the college and I love when I catch it in bloom. It is covered in new growth as well. Just gorgeous!
Hope you all have a wonderful week! I will be taking a picture of my grandson, Donovan's, pot of Zinnia he planted from seed about 1 week ago. Today we noticed 6 plantlets sprouting up and we all got so excited! We must have planted 20 seeds in this pot! I think I will do a little photo albunm with weeekly pictures of his pot until we have lovely flowers! He can have it all documented, and hopefully we may have a future gardener!!! :)

Wow Julie, this prickly pear is doing very well. Beautiful colour of the blooms - I agree.
HCM!
Very nice. I wish we could grow more succulents outdoors here. I think there is a variety similar to prickly pear that is hardy here. That tomato cutting thing mentioned by Claude sounds very interesting...
This is beautiful, Julie! Wonderful blooms with wonderful color...they look just small(blooms) and perfect.
Love the butterflies in the header, BTW :))

Hi Julie
Beautiful blooms on that plant. You have captured it at a great time. Do you have one in your yard?
thank you for sharing and have a wonderful day!
I'm sure your interest in plants could wear off on your grandson...how nice that he's having flowers coming up.

Blooms so early, and beauties at that! Isn't it great how cacti can be beautiful and prickly at the same time! Even though this is spineless.

No wonder you are into succulents. They are so gorgeous. Who knew? jan
Beautiful prickily pears! I just love them, and hope to have them in my desert garden when I move. Thanks for sharing and HCM!!!
Very inspiring prickly pear. Really put me into an admiration and new perspective towards cactus blooms again.
Wow1 love the flowers of your previous posts but i particularly eyeing on your college rose bush!

I have never seen so many blooms in this prickly pear plant. It is a delight to see those pinkish red.
